PASTE POT O R JAR.

SPECIFICATION forming part of Letters Patent No. 675,970, dated June 11, 1901.

Application filed January '7, 1901. Serial No. 42,383. (No model.)

To @ZZ whom, t may concern:

Beit known that I, FREEBORN F. RAYMOND, 2d, a citizen of the United States, residing at Newton, in the county of Middlesex and State 5 of Massachusetts, have invented a new and useful Improvement in Paste Pots or Jars, of which the followingis a full, clear, and exact description, reference being had to the accompanying drawings, forming a part of this lo specication, in explaining its nature.

An adhesive paste based upon dextrine or similar material is being now largely employed for various purposes and to a considerable extent as a substitute for liquid mueilage and glue. This paste is practically solid at atmospheric temperature, and has a tendency to harden or cake when exposed to the air or not supplied with moisture. The paste will also harden or cake upon the brush.

2o An attempt has been made to prevent the hardening or caking of the paste in the pot and on the brush by arranging in the pasteholding chamber a small vessel forholding Water, the evaporation of which provides moisture for the adjacent surface of the paste, and while the vessel and water are used as a means for holding the brush and also wetting and cleaning it. As such water-holding vessel has been contained in the paste-chamber its 3o capacity has been very small for either purpose, and frequent replenishing with water was necessary. Aside from the limitation imposed by the size and arrangement of the vessel its location is inconvenient for the use of the paste-brush and the paste, and the double use of the same vessel in the paste-chainber for both purposes is not desirable, for the water soon becomes pasty, discolored, foul, and unfit for use. My invention not only overcomes these objections to the old type of paste-pot, but also provides a new form of paste-pot. To secure these results, the paste jar or pot is constructed to provide two water-holding chambers, which preferably are connected with each other, and one of which holds water contiguous to the paste-holder or paste-holding chamber for providing its surface with moisture by evaporation, and the other of which holds water for wetting 5o the brush and also holds the brush. I shall hereinafter term the first water-holding chamber as the evaporating-chamber and the second water-holding chamber as the brushchamber. The evaporating-chamber may be located on one side only of the pasteholding chamber, or it may entirely surround the paste holding chamber upon its sides and, if desired, upon its bottom as well, and when the evaporating-chamber is so arranged and constructed it will not only then supply 6o the paste-chamber with an envelop of water which will serve to keep the wall of the pastechamber or a considerable portion of it from the air, tend to reduce and keep constant the temperature of the paste in the paste-chamber, and provide it with additional moisture working through the wall or wall and bottom of the paste-chamber, but also increase the evaporating surface of water, which, surrounding the paste-chamber, brings practi- 7o cally the entire surface of the paste Within the range of the moisture and increases its extent or volume. The brush-chamber preferably is apart from the paste-chainberand preferably, though not necessarily, is connected with the evaporating-chaniber by a passage. I prefer to arrange between the brush and evaporating chambers a partition which forms a Water seal. Provision for a separate brush-chamber is desirable in that itaffords means Where- 8o by it may be located independently of the paste-chamber and in convenient relation thereto. It also is a means of increasing the water-supply of the evaporating-chamber on the one hand, while the evaporating-chamber also serves to increase the supply of the brush-chamber, thereby increasing the quam tity of water available for both purposes, and thus increasing the etiiciency of the evaporating-chamber and the brush-chamber. 9o

In the drawings I have represented various forms of paste-chamber and of the evaporating and brush chambers.

The wall of the paste-chamber may be integral with the remainder of the pot or jar, as represented in Figures 5, 6, and 7, or it may be formed by the wall of a removable pasteholder, as represented in Figs. 1 to 4, inclusive, and 8 to 10, inclusive.

'Referring to the drawings, Fig. 1 isa View roo in vertical central section of a paste pot or jar having the features of my invention. Fig. 2 is a view in vertical central section of the paste pot or jar used with a removable holder'. Fig. 3 is a view in vertical section of the removable holder. Fig. 4E is a view in horizontal section upon the dotted line 1 1 of Fig. 1. Figs. 5 and l5 are vertical sections of modifications in which the paste-holder is integral with the remainder of the paste pot or jar. Fig. 7 is a view in horizontal section upon the dotted line 7 7 of Fig. 5. Figs. 8, 9, and l0 are views representing my improved paste pot or jar provided with reservoirehambers. Fig. 11 is a view of a paste pot or jar, showing lthe holder as surrounded by water upon its bottom as well as upon its side. Fig. l2 shows a view of a paste-holder in which the paste-holder fits the jar and has an evaporation-chamber at its center. Fig. 13 shows a construction of paste pot or jar in which an auxiliary reservoir is provided for supplying the evaporating-chaxnber and the brush-chamber with an increased water-supply. Fig. 14 is a view in plan of the construction of Fig. 13. Fig. 15 represents a modication in which the paste-holder is held by a chamber of the paste-pot-,which embraces the lower part of the holder and provides an evaporating-chamber above it. Fig. 1G is a view of a modification in which the water seal is eliminated. Fig. 17 is a View representing the water seal as eliminated and a shallow brush-well. Fig. 1S is a view of a slight modification in which the evaporating chamber is represented as covered by a horizontal extension of the wall of the pot, so that the moisture of evaporation is caused to flow horizontally from the evaporation-chamber.

Referring to the drawings, A represents the complete paste pot or jar. It maybe made of any suitable material. I prefer glass, earthenware, or metal.

B is the paste-holding ehamber,which I will hereinafter term the paste-chamber. In Figs 5, 6, and 7 it is represented as a fixture with the remainder of the paste pot or jar and is provided with the wall u, which is integral with the remainder of the pot or jar and maybe in the form of a partition, as represented in Figs. 5 and 7, or cylindrical, represented in Fig. (i, or may have any other arrangement, and the wall serves to separate the evaporation-chamber from the pastechamber. In the other figures of' the drawings the chamber for holding the paste is represented as removable, and for this purpose the chamber has an independent wall and bottom which forms a receptacle or holder for containing paste and in which it may be marketed independently of the remainderof the paste pot or jar. Its wall when in the paste pot or jar serves the purpose of the fixed wall a in that it serves to form the evaporatingchamber and to separate it from the pastechamber. I have lettered the independent or separable paste-holder B and its wall a. It

preferably has means, such as a cap b, for closing it when it is not contained in the paste pot or jar. (See Fig. 3.)

C is the evaporating-chamber, and D isthe bruslrchamber. The evaporating-chamber is any water-containing chamber which is separated from the paste-chamber by a partition and which is contained within the outer wall A of the paste-pot. It may be at one or more sides of the paste-chamber. It may entirely surround the paste-chamber. It may be surrounded by the paste-chamber. An illustration of the first arrangement is represented in Figs. 5 and 7, ofthe second in Figs. 1, 2, 4, (l, 8, 9, l0, and 1l, and of the third in Fig. 12. VVhateverits form orlocation, it is connected at its top c with the top b of the paste-chainber, so that the moisture of evaporation shall freely pass from the evaporation-chamber to the surface of the paste in the paste-chamber, and to accomplish this the partition or wallseparatingtheevaporation-chamberfrom the paste-chamber ismade lower than the Wall A, so that with the main cover E upon the paste pot or jar there shall still be space between it and the upper edge of the partition for the connection between the evaporationchamber and the paste-chamber. (See Figs. 1, 5, (l, 8, and fl.)

lVhere a removable paste-holder B is em ployed, it is desirable to hold it removed from the wall A of the pot or from the bottom or from both by means ofisolated fingers a2, extending inward from the wall,(see Figs. S and 10,) upward from the bottom, (see Figs. 1l, 12, and 13,) or outward from the wall of the jar. Any other means may be used for accomplishing this purpose.

The brush-chamber I) may be inclosed by the wall A2 of the paste pot or jar, which is integral with the wall A and which is connected with the wall A by a neck A3, in which is a passage rl, connecting the brush-chamber D with the evaporatiiig-chamber C. The brush-chamber has the opening d at its top, through which the brush is inserted into the chamber, and the surface a3 of the wall A2 about the opening serves as a rest for the flange of the brush. (See Fig. 8.) The water in both the brush-chamber and the evaporating-chamber will rise to the same level, and each chamber will act as a supply-chamber to the other. In Fig. 1 I have represented the wall A2 of the bruslrchamber as carried above the wall A in order that the water in both chambers maybe carried at a higher level and not be disturbed by displacement when the brush is inserted into the brushchamber. In Fig. l and some of the other figures the two unter-chambers are represented as including a water seal F. This is obtained by locating the connecting-passage d in ornear the base of the pot or jar, so that the upper level of the lowest part of said passage shall be considerably below the average level of the water in the two chambers.

I do not confine myself to the use of a wa- IOO IIO

ter seal. It is in some forms of construction and for some uses desirable in that it prevents the passage of air downward from the brush-chamber into the evaporating-chamber and thence to the paste-chamber when the main cap E is on the pot, and it is desirable to avoid this, as it would provide means for the escape of moisture from the evaporatingchamber which should only be supplied the paste-chamber and would decrease the efficiency of the evaporating-chamber.

I would here remark that one of the desirable features of the invention arises from the use of au iinperforate cover E for sealing the evaporating-chamber and the paste-chamber when the jar is not in use, for as there is a separate brush-chamber it is not necessary that the main cover should have a hole in it for receiving a brush or for any other purpose.

The evaporating-ehamber and the brushchamber may have the same area of surface from top to bottom, as represented in Figs. 1, 2, 5, and 6, or the capacity of one or both may be increased by enlarging one or both of the chambers or to provide what in effect is an auxiliary or supply chamber for furnishing a larger quantity of water for evaporation and for feeding the brush-chamber than would otherwise be obtained. In Figs. 8 and il, G represents this auxiliary or supply chamber furnished in Fig. 8 by an outward swell of the walls A A27 furnishing chambers in extension of both the evaporating and the brush chambers. In Fig. 9 an extension of the evaporation-chamber only is represented.

I would say here that the chambers may be supplied with water by pouring it into the brush-chamber or into the reservoir and without removing the cap from the paste-jar, the water in the evaporating-chamber being thus supplied from either the brush-chamber or the reservoir. This is of course when the chambers are being first filled with water or the water-supply in them is being renewed.

It will be understood that the placing of the removable paste-holder in the chamber of the pot, if it has previously been supplied with water, will cause the water to rise in the evaporating-chamber and in the brush-waterholding chamber and in the reservoir, if one be used, to a higher level, the height of which will depend upon the water in the chamber. lt will also be seen that the placing of the removable paste-holder in the chamber of the pot immediately establishes therein the pasteholding chamber and the water-evaporating chamber.

In Fig. 1 I have shown the brush-chamber as provided with the cover D. It will be seen that the wall A of the pot or jar contains the evaporating and paste chambers, and the wall A2 the brush-chamber.

In Fig. 11 I have represented a construc tion of paste-pot in which there is no or a very slight water seal. This is due to the size of the channel and the location of the partition between the two chambers.

In Figs. lil and I4 the brush-holder is formed by what may be termed an annular well G, which separates it from the evaporating-chamber, which well extends from the front of the paste-pot to nearly the rear, tei'- ininating at the line c c', between which lines at the rear it is bottomless, so that it connects with the evaporating-chamber C. This well will therefore be lled with water to the level of the water in the evaporatingchamber and will serve as an auxiliary or 'supply chamber.

Having thus fully described my invention, I claim and desire to secu re by Letters Patent of the United Statesl. A paste-jar having a paste-holding receptacle, a water-holding receptacle, and a brush-holding receptacle, the wall of said paste-holding receptacle forming also one wall of said water-holding receptacle and being slightly lower than the wall of said waterholding receptacle, whereby when said waterholding receptacle is covered a passage will be provided for moisture from the top of the water-holding receptacle to the surface of the paste in said paste-holding receptacle, as described.
